365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Confirmation Of Identity
Update: My expert and her expert got their heads together today over my photos of the frogs and egg mass, and I am happy to report that we are ALL in agreement on the identification: Cascades Frogs. I feel much better now.
Glad for the update. I couldn't sleep last night reliving the nightmare with that so-called expert--the irresponsible, glib identification. Why the world itself might stop spinning if such carelessness is tolerated. Much relieved to hear it is all sorted.
I laid awake half the night trying to think of someone else I could refer the photos to for a third opinion (besides my own), just in case the expert's expert was one of those people who don't like to admit they made a mistake. My faith in humanity has been restored! (That said, I did think of another herpetologist I could have called in if the need arose.)
